Such a shame. it had a huge push for a while, but then they went that weird closed dev version route wiht what...8 years between updates?

Don't think they had a project manager. They have multiple devs working on different things and just keep working and working and working. There was no main person to tell them where to cut off and version it out so dev just keeps going on forever.

I think part of the reason is that the engine is updated more or less as often as the event side, and any bigger change to the engine means that players have to start a new game. This caused complaints, though I guess there's equal complaints about this approach.

Bugfixes to existing events can be for the most part done without needing to include the engine updates, and usually don't break save compatibility (done on the public version). However adding new content is obviously preferable on the latest build (so that it doesn't have to be redone) with the latest 'toys', but that build might not be stable/tested enough for public use.

The latest delay might be partly my fault, as I've 'snuck in' a somewhat big change just as things were getting to a stable point, which prompted Shilo to add other big changes to expand on it.

And true, I don't think there's really anyone in charge, this is mostly a hobby project where people often vanish for long periods of time.

I mean, they are doing it entirely on free time with no pay from it, so it stands to reason the length of time would be the same with or without the closed dev route.

Don't think they had a project manager. They have multiple devs working on different things and just keep working and working and working. There was no main person to tell them where to cut off and version it out so dev just keeps going on forever.
Even if there was such a person, there was no good place in 1.10 to cut off yet. Right before the website issue started, they were still dealing with some fairly major bugs that would have been a huge issue to do a full release with.

There are, and some people (nobody I mentioned in this comment and nobody specific otherwise, just speaking in general) would not be satisfied either way. The other approach would be too buggy, this approach would be too slow, there's just no winning. To be fair, most of the changes were engine changes from what I understand, so it is reasonable that it would take this long with how many issues came up and with the scheduling of each person being free time based. Not to mention the high priority issue with the website.

Possibly, they are still trying to resolve the issue by trying to contact the actual site owner, but there will be an alternative if things don't work out last I heard. If an alternative site/page pops up for the game, you know the regular site is officially dead for the game and the game has been moved, at least, that's what I got from what has been said in this thread.

Ah ok, so at least we know there's still someone behind all of it. I thought the vanishing of the website meant that this is gone for good

No, if anything, just the website. Shilo has said they will look for an alternative if they can't get in touch with the person with actual ownership of the website, which is the current issue. He seems to have dropped off the map for an unknown reason.

AnnetteAndAndy mod: Updated with a fix for Annette events stopping in the public version. You don't need it if you've already progressed her chain to the bedroom (might reset your progress).
Also added some other 1.10 mods shared by users. Link to modlist is in a spoiler in the main post.

AnnetteAndAndy mod: Fix pt2 - electric boogaloo. Turns out there was an issue that uncovered a potential bug with refreshing events. Updated mod with a work-around, if you're not getting generic Annette events, this should fix it (failsafe kicks in after day 18).

I tried 1.9 with that Lexville mod for a while but those character list improvements in 1.10 actually make this game playable. Finally I can see who belongs to my classes and whos on favorite list. One thing I dont know is what exclamation point next to some names means.
Also theres Bitch sensei.

any of you guys got a link for lexville
There's a spoiler with mods in the main post.

It means they have a story chain (or are temporarily part of one). NPCs with HasQuest are much harder to influence through other means (like hypno). HasQuest can be removed via Map options, however I think the vanilla one just removes it from everyone, the one in Pregnancy mod settings lets you pick specific NPCs (1.10 - not sure if 1.9.5 used HasQuest for anything).

Here is my mod. I have other mods in the work too. But finding a new place to live comes first.

Ohai, I think a player already linked this one on the discord. It was however a 1.9.5 version, and it seems this one is the same. By that I mean that it uses 1.9.5 logic, old image paths & GetPhysical - check out the modding guide on porting stuff to 1.10 about the differences :)
I've ported the other one to 1.10 and added it to the list, you can grab that one (since it's yours :)).
